[1] "In and Around the Grand Canyon."[2] "The Storming of Awatobi," The Chautauquan, August, 1901.[3] Since writing the above, however, a sad event has transpired which leads me to modify my statement. A young lady missionary, riding alone, was criminally assaulted by a Navaho, and almost brought to death's door. When I heard of it Navahoes were hunting for the culprit. It is to be hoped he will be found and severely punished.[4] Since writing this I visited the Hopi Snake Dance at Oraibi, in September, 1902. One of the Navahoes I met there informed me that he had come as the messenger of my peshlikai friend at Tohatchi, and he asked, "When klish (the rattlesnake) bit you did you wear the klish ring?" I answered, "Yes." "Then," said he, "that was the reason you recovered. Had you not worn it you would speedily have died." Of course I believed him.[5] This chapter is composed mainly from an article of mine entitled "Indian Blanketry," which appeared in Outing of March, 1902.[6] There are several other fair springs in the vicinity, chiefly Johnson's to the north of Kingman, and Gentile Springs, below the pass through which the Santa FÉ railway enters Sacramento Valley.[7] See "In and Around the Grand Canyon."[8] See chapter "Basketry the Mother of Pottery," in "Indian Basketry," by George Wharton James.
